5 possible opponents for The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34

Wrestlemania season is a joyous time of the year. Of course that's no secret to most of the WWE Universe, especially since it is a time where dream matches, title changes and once in a lifetime moments all happen in one kick-ass five hour super pay-per-view. But a lot of the fun of WrestleMania season also comes when trying to fantasy book that years card.

Questions like, who will get the main event spot, who will win the title and what special surprises does The WWE have planned, all become as important topics as the event itself. With that being said, and yet another WrestleMania season upon us, its time to address the most important question of all: Who will face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans.

Sure, the question has lost some of its importance after Brock Lesnar defeated 'the streak' three years ago at WrestleMania 30, and after he lost to Roman Reigns in 2017, but it is still an intriguing topic when you consider what could really be left for someone with The Undertaker's historic legacy.

In the end, it is ultimately up to WWE to decide about what to do with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34, or if he should wrestle at all. But here are five very possible options for 'The Phenom' at WrestleMania 34.

#5 Finn Balor

This one probably won't be high on a lot of fans lists, especially since fans only want to see Finn Balor back in the Universal Title picture, but it would still be an interesting opportunity for The Undertaker to have a torch passing moment with another young star. Not only that, it also silences the critics that say that WWE isn't doing anything with Balor.

Of course one of the problems with this match would be its realism, especially with the size and age difference between the two stars, but if WWE could make it work, its definitely worth giving a try. In the end, this probably won't be Undertaker's most likely option for a match, it's just one of the most appealing for Finn Balor and Undertaker fans.

#4 Daniel Bryan

Please note that this entry is contingent on two things happening:

1. Daniel Bryan is actually cleared by WWE to wrestle at WrestleMania 34, which would require WWE to overturn their previous decision that forced Bryan to retire.

2. WWE would have to somehow incorporate The Undertaker into the feud between Bryan and McMahon in a realistic way.

Of course that could be achieved by Shane McMahon making a deal with Bryan that in order for him to continue to be the General Manager of Smackdown Live, he would have to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania 34. The storyline would be to give Bryan one last shot at a WrestleMania moment and would literally allow him to go out on top.

With that being said and the fact that WWE wouldn't be boosting any young talent in this situation, it might be a hard sell for creative and Vince McMahon himself. Of course, they could always go with the angle that it would make the pay-per-view must see TV, but Bryan and Undertaker would have to deliver a five star match once their in the ring.

#3 Braun Strowman

Bruan Strowman, — Braun Strowman making his way to the ring.

Believe it or not, this is actually one of the most likely options on this entire list.

Picture this! Just as Braun Strowman is about to seriously injure Kane during their triple-threat match with Brock Lesnar for The Universal Title, The Undertaker comes in and makes the save for his brother one last time. Not only would the moment draw a huge pop from The WWE Universe, it also sets up an awesome WrestleMania 34 match.

It also creates a viable excuse for Brock Lesnar to walk out of the Royal Rumble with the Universal Title, which would be an amazing way to protect him from taking a loss heading into WrestleMania, and also allows the seeds to be planted for Undertaker's match with Strowman as well.

How WWE chooses to book this one is up to them, but it would be cool to see Vince McMahon align with a heel Undertaker and tell Strowman that he just can't cut it as WWE's next big thing. In fact, he could also tell Strowman that the reason he didn't have the match with The Undertaker back at WrestleMania 33 was because he didn't believe in him.

#2 Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns for the Universal Title

Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, — Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns fighting over The WWE Title.

While this would involve putting The Undertaker in the Universal Title match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, which is rumoured to be the pay-per-view's main event, it could have an amazing payoff for Roman Reigns if he was able to defeat two of the company's biggest stars in one high stakes main event.

With that being said and The Undertaker supposedly in good health, it makes sense for The him to appear at the 25th anniversary of Monday Night Raw in January and confront Roman Reigns. Furthermore, adding him to the Universal title match also gives Taker one more chance to avenge his two losses at Mania, which would be a huge selling point on its own.

In the end, it might be a little bit too much for WWE to be able to put together in only a few months, and could be too gimmicky for fans to follow anyway. Sure, fans would be excited to see The Undertaker have one more chance at defeating the two men that ended his streak, but once fans realise its all to get Reigns over, they probably won't be behind it.

#1 John Cena

It is being reported that WWE has something very big planned for John Cena at WrestleMania 34, and while some believe this is hinting at a title match for 'The Cenation' leader, others think it could be WWE hinting at Cena finally going one on one with Taker at WrestleMania 34. What would be the repercussions of such a match though?

First off, what would be the point of a match like this taking place? Sure, it would be a once in a lifetime match and probably on the same level of Rock versus Cena and Rock versus Stone Cold Steve Austin, but is that really worth the risk of The Undertaker suffering another brutal injury?

Not only that, the match doesn't really do anything to further the company, especially since both Cena and Undertaker are part timers at best, and it probably would draw a lot of heat from fans for just that. In the end, its up to WWE if they want to pull the trigger on something like this, but they need to be weary of the repercussions in the process.
